Los Jameos del Agua is the first Art, Culture and Tourism Centre created by César Manrique, in a natural space created inside a volcanic tunnel.

Inaugurated in 1968, the artist, painter and sculptor transformed the space into a unique work that represents the maximum expression of his ideology: artistic creation in harmony with the environment and nature.

Like the Cueva de los Verdes, the Jameos del Agua originated after the eruption of the Corona Volcano. The word "jameo" is of Guanche origin, and refers to the hole produced as a result of the collapse of the roof of a volcanic tube, in this case, the volcanic tube of La Corona.

César Manrique was able to transform the environment and enhance its beauty even more, creating an idyllic symbiosis between the cave's potential and his creative resources. © iStock/Balate Dorin
